Nuff Said!

Hahahahaha! Love it! The irony is that I was asked by someone at my church to help with a Halloween carnival they are holding the weekend before the Big Day (I go to a Methodist church, so it's pretty laid-back, with none of that "Halloween is Satanic" bullshit). Of course, one of the events they are holding will be "Trunk or Treat". Gah! Well, since it isn't intended to replace traditional ToT activities, and the whole thing is a celebration of Halloween, I guess I'll have to swallow my bile and cooperate! Since I'm providing the music, you can be sure it will be the COOLEST sounding church-sanctioned Halloween carnival EVER! When was the last time you heard White Zombie's version of "I'm Your Boogieman" or Satan's Pilgrim's "Gravewalk" at a church??!!

About Me

Just your normal everyday insane gentleman with a passion for the macabre and for that wonderful day, Hallowe'en. It is often asked of me, why do I go all out on Hallowe'en? I have great memories of Hallowe'en as a child, it was a time of magic, of make believe, of family time. Each year we would run from house to house trick or treating in the very neighborhood that I live in right now. It was dark, spooky, safe. It was the days of boxed Collegeville and Ben Cooper costumes from McCroy Village and TG&Y. Hallowe'en meant paper skeletons on front doors and candlelit pumpkins on porches, elementary school Hallowe'en carnivals and knocking on stranger's doors to get candy that didn't have to be carefully inspected for tampering. My Hallowe'en memories are a wonderful concoction of scents of fall leaves, a whiff of a jack o' lantern lid burned by the candle inside, crisp fall air and the tastes of candy corn, caramel apples and cider. I want to preserve and share Hallowe'en, to resurrect this wonderful innocent holiday that I grew up with for kids today.

Do you have a product, book, video or anything that you'd like a haunted opinion on? Perhaps you need a little publicity for your product, let the world know how good what you have is? Maybe you'd like to sponsor me or advertise on Mr. Macabre's Hallowe'en Cerebrations and reach lots and lots of like-minded and not-so-like-minded people? Please contact me: Mr.Macabre [AT] hotmail [DoT] com (all the funny letters are to keep the spambots at bay, you know what to do with the address).
